Happy Birthday to Us!

For our birthday's this year we went to Mesquite and Las Vegas. We left Friday, March 26th Lance's birthday and came back on mine Monday, March 29th. Lance has always wanted to go visit the Carroll Shelby Headquarters in Las Vegas. We were just going to go to Las Vegas on Saturday but we found out the Museum is not open then. So we went to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and to the Museum on friday. After we were done there, we thought we would head to the Fashion Outlets in Primm Valley. We thought that these outlets would be close to Vegas but they were a extra 30 minutes away. But the extra drive was worth it. We got some of the best deals ever. Alot of the stores were trying to get there winter stuff off the shelves and getting the summer stuff out. One of my best deals was getting two pair of Lucky Brand pants that are normal $88 for $10 each. Lance's best deal was a pair of Nike shoes that were worth $125, he got for $30. It was great. We ate dinner in Primm and then headed back to Mesquite where we stayed three nights at the Virgin River Casino. On Saturday we went back to the Las Vegas strip. We parked at Circus Circus and walked down to the Luxor and back. It was about our whole day. We ate dinner at In-n-Out. But when we were down in the arcade under the M&M World I found a $5 bill. We saved it and took it back to Mesquite. I put it in a penny machine and ended up winning $50 buck so I stopped. On Sunday we just hung out around Mequite and found out that the Oasis Casino is out of business. Then on Monday we headed back home. It was a great getaway. We had great birthdays. Thanks everyone.This is the racetrack that Nascar using in Las Vegas.
Inside the museum there was a few cars(old and new) to see. But the funny was that there was a bride and groom in there getting married next to the cars.

This was a note on a few of the cars.
This car was the first cobra made. It showed wear and tear but it still was worth $27 million.
We were about to leave when we saw of few brand new mustangs outside one of the buildings. Lance got out and talked to two of the workers and they told him that the cars were done but they were special ordered for people. Most of them were priced at $50,000 to $70,000.
This is a picture we took on saturday on the Vegas strip. As you guys were getting snow, we were in shorts. Our whole trip we had 60 to 70 degree weather.
In Mesquite we found the Ford dealership and they also sell Lance trailers. We thought that is was funny, so we went there and took some pictures.
